FLEX
RATES
Daily
Flex Rates are in USD Dollars
Valid from 01 January 2010
to 31 March 2011
|
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible
pricing, which gives you the opportunity
to secure the best possible rental rate.
The Flex Rates are based on a very simple
system of supply and demand. So when there
are a large number of vehicles available
for hire from a particular branch then
the rental rate is lower. This way you
can benefit from the lower rates offered.
Generally, this means that the earlier
you book the cheaper the rate! There will
also be great Standby Rates!
However, once booked, should you need to amend the dates, the prevailing rates
will apply. We get advised of new flex rates each week. Therefore each quote
only valid until the end of each week.

PACKAGE
Public
Liability Insurance:
The public liability insurance is included in the daily rental rate. Apollo
is insured for damages to third parties and/or their property up to a limit
of USD $1 million. The public liability insurance that covers the registered
drivers is only up to the statutory limit as stipulated by law of the State
you are in at the time. This insurance amount is normally very low. Top Service
Inclusion:
Apollo has included an additional SLI third party insurance policy in the
rental rates which increases the driver’s public liability insurance
level to USD $1 million – well above the statutory limits.
The maximum SLI insurance covers claims made by third parties against the
rental company or the renter of the motorhome (for damage to third parties
or their property). Passengers in the rented motorhome are not counted
as third parties and the driver is therefore not insured for claims brought
by them against him/herself. Property Damage:
The
renter is responsible up to the amount of
USD $1,000 for the cost of damage to the
rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible
for the cost of demurrage for the period
the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs.
The Liability applies in respect of each
claim, not per rental. The Liability is applicable
regardless of who is at fault and must be
paid at the time the accident is reported
to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental
Period.
Liability
Reduction Option:
A
USD $0 (zero) Liability applies. This Option
can be purchased by paying to Apollo USD
$15 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is USD $375 – i.e.
25 days rental.
LRO protects against:
-
Accidental
damages
-
Windscreen
and other glass damage
-
Protection
against theft and vandalism
-
Protection
against uninsured motorists
Bond:
A
Bond of USD $1,000 will be collected at
the time of entering into the Rental Contract.
The USD $1,000 will be debited to the credit
card account immediately. An administration
fee of USD $20 applies.
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond.
The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the Bond upon
vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable
for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct
location on time, is full of fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract
have been complied with. If there is damage to the Apollo Motorhome vehicle
on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up
to the amount of the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental
Contract are breached and the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage
then any extra cost will be charged. Full Responsibility:
At
all times the renter is responsible for:
-
Damage
caused where the terms of Rental Contract
have been breached.
-
Damage
caused by negligence.
-
Damage
caused to the Vehicle in any way by part
or total water submersion or salt water.
-
Damage
caused due to a single vehicle roll over.
-

not in the English language (e.g. German, French, Chinese,

also required. The driver’s licence must have been
held for at least two years and be valid for the whole
length of the rental. The original driver's licence
must be shown at time of pick-up when the driver
is present.
Minimum and Maximum Age:
The
minimum age to drive the vehicle is 21 years and
the maximum age is 75 years.
Multiple Rentals:
Consecutive
rentals can be combined to qualify for a long-term
discount rate. Rentals in the United States of America,
Australia and New Zealand can be combined to obtain
a long-term discount rate, providing travel is within
a 3 month period. If drop off of a vehicle and pick
up of a new vehicle occurs on the same day then a
day each will be charged per respective vehicle.
Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals
under the one way fee and minimum rental period conditions.
Change of
Drop Destination:

the renter wishes to change the drop off
destination after the rental has commenced,
they first must obtain authorisation from
the Apollo Head Office. Subject to the
change being approved, a minimum additional
charge of USD $500 will apply.
Repairs:
Although
we run late model vehicles, it may happen
that small repairs are required. Repairs
up to USD $100 may be affected without
authorisation and will be reimbursed unless
the damage is caused by the renter. For
amounts over USD $100, Apollo will need
to be informed in advance. All vehicles
are covered for 24hr emergency roadside
assistance.
Traffic Infringements:
We
reserve the right to charge the renter
for any speeding or parking fines, traffic
infringements or road toll fines. An
additional administration fee of $75
per fine will apply to cover the costs
of processing.

In
the event of no alternative vehicle being
available to the renter our liability
is limited to a refund of the hire charge
or in the case of mechanical failure
(unless caused by the renter) the remainder
